Scandal Elixir
by Fabrice Pellegrin , Bruno Jovanovic , Daphné Bugey
Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Elixir is a Parfum launched in 2023, created by Fabrice Pellegrin, Bruno Jovanovic, and Daphné Bugey. Scandal Elixir opens with Bergamot, Blood Orange, Pink Pepper, and Blackberry, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Jean Paul Gaultier's Scandal Elixir carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.
Scandal Elixir Parfum is a decadent cherry-topped gourmand that wraps you in a plush, syrupy cloud. Not for the shy, it commands attention with nuclear performance and a seductive, almost edible trail.What our verdicts mean →

Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Seasons
The dense, sweet-gourmand composition with black cherry, vanilla, and tonka bean makes it ideal for cold winter and crisp autumn weather where its richness and warmth shine. It's too opulent and heavy for summer, but can work in spring evenings.
Best Occasions
Its bold projection and decadent sweetness make it perfect for evening dates and formal occasions, but it can overwhelm in the office or sporty settings. Best suited for night outs or when you want to be noticed.
